THE FAR LOOK AHEAD
The republican leadership in the
treaty contest is wofully defective
in taking the near instead of the
far view. This leadership cannot
see beyond the presidential election;
it is blind to the figure it ill cut in
history. After all possible blame
for the defeat of the treaty has been
placed upon the president's stub
bornness, there will be plenty of
blame to go around and the repub
lican leaders cannot escape a . very
heavy load. They control the sen
ate, organization and they must hear
the responsibilities of a majority
party in such a body.
. If the senate fails to act defin
itely, the majority party must as
sume the chief burden for the fail
ure, so far as the senate itself Is
concerned. If It defeats' the treaty,
it cannot load the fault uponthe
president without abandoning the
constitutional theory of a co-ordin
ate branch of the treaty-making
power functioning independently of
the executive. The president may
have influence with certain senators,
but so has W. J. Bryan and Elihu
Root. Mr: Roosevelt as a private
citizen had influence with senators.
But the senate because of outside
Influence cannot escape its constitu
tional obligations nor evade. its full
responsibility for its acts and its
failures. .
In history, certain elementary
facts will be thrown into high re
lief. It will be seen that the pres
ident kept strictly within his con
stitutional powers in negotiating
this treaty, that it was defeated
while in the senate, and that no
other nation In the world signatory
to the treaty, or invited to Join the
league of nations, found suPcicnt
fault with the treaty or the coven
ant to make a single reservation
worh while. All but one, Venezu
ela, invited to Join, have now ac
cept d the invitation unreservedly.
This fact will loom in history; it
will create a presumption in any
fair and unbiased historian's mind,
that the opponents of unreserved
ratification in the United States
were in the wrong and that Presi
dent Wilson was fundamentally
right in his principal contention.
For is it possible that all of the
score of nations which found no res
ervations necessary were unable to
see dangers to their Independence
and impairments of their sovereign
ty in the covenant, while one alone.
the United States, was alive to such
perils? In history this question will
answer itself.
The republican leaders In the sen
ate ought to look far ahead. Today
they are obsessed by Wilsonphobia
and the thought of their immediate
prestige in the campaign now near
at hand. Their responsibility for a
great decision in disposing of the
treaty will be assessed many years
hence in a way that will blaeken
them and their, party, unless they
speedily offer terms which the mi
nority cannot possibly afford to re-
i
fuse. Springfield Republican.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL CRISIS
The. American public school sys
tem is in imminent danger of break
ing down. It were futile to try to
blink that fact. The statement of
the United States Bureau of Educa
tion in the Post-Dispatch Friday de
scribes a crisis. More than 18,000
schools haVe had to close for lack of
teachers, and in 41,000 schools the
teachers are "below 'standard".
But the deadliest' detail . of the
bureau's report has to do with nor
mal schools. The attendance on No
vember 1 in 60 per cent of those
institutions' which have been polled
was 11,503 below the number dur
ing the pre-war period. That ex
perienced teachers have everywhere
been resigning to go into other work
is well known. The shrinkage in
normal school attendance shows thai.
the source of supply is drying up
Thus, the only element to complete
the debacle is provided.
There is Just one way to halt the
dissolution of the public school sys
tern and to restore it to . its indls
pensable health and vigor. The one
way can be told in one word. Mon-
I ey. School teacners muse De paia
according to their worth. A-'lrierfe
l living wage will riot suffice, tt is
trite to Bay that the deterioration
of .our public schools would poison
I and eventually Daisy all .our na-
l .
tional functions. Trite as it is, it
is a fact we have studidly tried to
dodge. We can't -dodge it any lon
ger. -The profession" of teaching
must be. accorded its Just recogni
tion. Its rewards' and opportuni
ties must-be suoh as to attract our
young men and women of talent
and purpose, and to retain them.
The failure to appreciate the im
portance of adequate public schools
has been national, but no state has
sinned more previously in this re
spect than has Missouri. Our at
titude towards our country schools,
esDecially. has been niggardly. A
pittance has been the wage of the
country school teacher. The "little
red school house", extolled by the
demagogue, has too often been a
wretched hovel, where ugliness and
neglect have broken the hearts of
many brave men and women. St.
Louis Post-Dispatolf.
